Seated Upper Body Series

Orientation: Seated (mat or chair)

The Seated Upper Body Series is less commonly used, but depending on your demographic, space, or class objectives, it can be a smart and effective choice.

It builds strength in the arms, shoulders, and upper back without requiring standing or weight-bearing on the lower body. Common exercises include shoulder press, seated row with a band, bicep curl, lateral raise, and shoulder rotation.

Framework Tip

Use seated variations when accessibility, equipment, or balance needs make standing work less practical.
